Meditation is a safe and simple way
to help you move towards balance and harmony. It is a practice that
is as old as mankind and can be used to aid in the healing process and
promotes deep relaxation.
When in meditation, the mind is in a
state of restful alertness whilst the body becomes more relaxed, allowing
for a natural healing and harmonizing to take place. The benefits of
meditation can be found on three levels: physical, psychological and spiritual.
Physical benefits: It has been shown
that the regular use of meditation can strengthen your immune system, making it
better able to resist infections. Physiological problems that are stress related
or influenced by stress are also be helped.
Psychological benefits: Meditation
can help most people feel more relaxed and better able to cope with life's
events. It can promote a more aware attitude, leading to a recognition of the
choices you have in life.
Spiritual benefits: To tell someone
what to believe is to take away their freedom. Meditation is a personal journey towards understanding and
knowledge of Self and of the Source. Meditation will help you find your own
answers.

Indian
Head Massage can be either rejuvenating and energizing, or deeply relaxing and
tension relieving. It involves massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck,
scalp and face. As the massage
works on the shoulders and neck, you will feel the relief of tension instantaneously.
As well as easing headaches and stress, many conditions can be helped with
Indian Head Massage.
Indian Head Massage aids your localised
blood and lymphatic circulation, relieves eyestrain, boosts your immune system,
relieves muscle tension, and helps restore joint movement. It also aids the condition and health of your hair, and can help with re
growth. Use it as an aid to relaxation, or boost your energy levels making
you feel re energised and enthusiastic.
Indian Head Massage is a "clothes on" massage so there is no need to remove anything other than jewellery. Oils can be used as a tonic or a treatment for specific hair conditions, and also have aromatherapy benefits.

Holistic
simply means 'whole' so this form of
massage deals with you as a 'whole' so not just looking to treat the symptoms,
but to establish the cause, whether it be internal or external. The aim
is to rebalance your body so it achieves homeostasis or balance.
At your first consultation you will be asked to complete a detailed
health questionnaire which will take about 30 to 40 minutes as it goes over
every aspect of your health, family history and lifestyle, what goes in your
body, and yes, also what comes out the other end! I keep a note of each
treatment, which for you means that after a few visits you can come in, 'flop'
down on the couch and I know just what you need.
It is rare that we take an hour to lie down,
close our eyes and just 'be'. An hour's peace and quiet away from ringing
phones and demanding children has a definite restorative effect. For the
body, the massage helps taut muscles learn to relax and aids lymphatic
drainage, helping to release toxins. The benefits can be felt by all ages, from
all walks of life. The Massage Association research has verified that office
workers massaged regularly were more alert, performed better and were less
stressed than those who weren't massaged. It is not just office workers who
benefit, everyone can. Stress affects different people in different ways,
physically and emotionally and holistic massage can help you to deal with both.
Massage will stimulate blood flow and help the
release of those feel-good endorphins that make us feel smiley inside.
There are a number of reasons that massage may not be suitable or appropriate for
you, for example if you are ill or have a fever. People with some conditions such
as cancer may be treated only with consent from their GP. This is why the
consultation prior to receiving a massage is so important.
At the end of the session I will be
able to give you advice about what you can do in between treatments to maintain
or improve your body's equilibrium.
You don't need a medical reason to
enjoy massage, a regular massage will keep the body tuned. People groom themselves
daily, looking after their external appearance, massage is like grooming for
the inside, and if the inside is in good shape, it will shine through the
outside too!
Full Body Holistic Massage, Back, Shoulders & Neck Massage, & Foot Massage are all available.
